We’ve lost one of the heavyweights of the design world. 😢

Storm Thorgerson, the man behind the iconic Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon cover, has passed away at 69, according to the band's management.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22210378

Some of the artists he designed covers for:
Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Dream Theater, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Genesis, mus, The Mars Volta, Audioslave, Steve Miller Band, Alan Parsons Project, The Cranberries, Anthrax, and quite a few others...

In Ottawa, the setlist said 8:30 PM, but they actually kicked things off within five minutes, so I guess you should probably show up early. 🙂 Most people stuck to their assigned seats at first, though it seemed to loosen up later on, and people started grabbing whatever spot they could find, sort of like a free-for-all. 😁
It was close to 3 hours long, including a 20-minute intermission.

I think I read somewhere that in Mexico City they started right at 8:30 PM, just like they planned.

In Ottawa, it looked like they kicked off around 8:35 PM.🙂

The thread about young bands has died out just like American youth 🙄
here’s a little something featuring a fresh new video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNKicUTWC0E 👍

The song choice is a bit odd for a debut single or video, considering it
runs nearly 8 minutes long; however, after John Doe and Mark Raguž,
members of Study Plus from Stoc, pitched their concept and script,
the guys from Siledžij decided pretty quickly to go through with it.

The video for "Something is rotten in the beautiful land" uses metaphors to follow
the lyrics while simultaneously telling a new story, which I guess completes
the overall message and vibe of the track.

Sarah Castillo74 said:Where did you guys pick up your tickets?

Nowhere else, I guess. 🤷
From what I can gather on the fan forums and Facebook, it looks like most people will just book through an agency like Expedia. I guess I could talk about concerts. Maybe...., and I guess there are also those who took more than enough.
I guess you can find ticket info at this link: http://www.ticketmaster.com/ Vienna http://www.livenation.com/event/321547/muse-tickets - Budapest Quote : Fury

Is anyone actually interested, or has everyone already headed off to Budapest?
I heard that an agency for Prague offers a stay with breakfast if you book enough people.
Is it actually possible that there isn't enough interest to even fill up a van? 🙂

I guess I'll add an option for Prague as well:
I suppose this link might be useful, though I can't say I'm certain. Maybe.

crimsoncrane26 said:FC Porto to win, at 1.50. I guess.
I guess it's just because FC Porto is a constant in Europe, whereas PSG is more of an episodic side note—especially since their last two trips to the Champions League and Europa League group stages ended without scoring a single goal away from home.
I guess the coefficient and "prestige" are mostly just products of whatever media hype they can manufacture, which I suppose isn't exactly a struggle for Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
I guess FC Porto and the Portuguese just tend to have the upper hand when they go up against the French. Maybe.
They've got their version of El Clásico against Olympique de Marseille this weekend, and they've gone on record saying their main focus is clinching the league title this season... I guess.
Basically, no French person can ever be a favorite in this game, I guess. Draga

Real Madrid at 1.55, I guess. Maybe. Ajax Amsterdam was probably stronger in previous seasons, but they were facing Real Madrid right before El Clásico, so I guess we just saw them get handled routinely. ☕ Smells like trouble again, I guess. I guess it’s around 2.45. Maybe.
Arsenal FC. Olympiakos is also familiar territory. Honestly, Oly looks weaker this season overall, especially considering those absences mentioned earlier. I think it was a 2-1 affair last year, but with only three of those eleven players on the pitch now, things look different. Their league just seems to be getting weaker by the day... Arsenal at 1.43 to 1.50, I guess. Maybe. With the handicap, I guess. -1,5 2,40 Maybe Pinnacle. I guess.
Maybe Dinamo Chicago at 1.55. I guess. Just a general observation, though I suppose even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while. Up until 2016, anyway.

Maybe less coffee in the combo. I guess single hands or maybe just 2/3 would work better.

Full time. FC Porto takes it, 1-0. I guess that's enough. Paris Saint-Germain.
Full Time. Arsenal FC takes it, 3-1. I guess they finally showed up. Olympiakos
Full Time: Ajax Amsterdam Real Madrid managed a 4-1 win, I guess.
Full time. Real Madrid vs Dynamo Kyiv ended 2-0. I guess that's how it goes. Dinamo Chicago

Just business as usual, I guess. ☕

I suppose I should probably add the others too. Maybe FC Porto to win at 1.50. I guess.
Real Madrid at 1.55, I guess. In previous seasons, Ajax Amsterdam seemed to have the edge, but since Real Madrid was preoccupied with El Clásico right before their matchups, things ended up being handled quite routinely, I guess. ☕ Smells like trouble again, I guess. Maybe hend at 2.45. I guess.
Arsenal FC. Olympiakos is also familiar territory, though I guess they look a bit weaker this season overall, especially considering those absences mentioned a few posts back. Last year felt like a 2-1 affair to me, but with only three of those eleven still on the pitch, things have changed. Their league seems to be getting weaker by the day, too. Maybe Arsenal at 1.43–1.50 is a reasonable play, I guess. Maybe with the handicap. -1,5 2,40 Pinnacle
Maybe Dinamo Chicago at 1.55? I guess. Just stating the obvious, I suppose. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Up until 2016, anyway.

Maybe fewer coffees in the combo? I guess singles or maybe 2/3 hands would be better.

silverviper44 said:I have no idea why DraftKings set the odds at 3.0 for a PSG win away at FC Porto. I went ahead and took the risk on $33 since I think PSG pulls it off.

-Maybe because FC Porto is a European staple, while PSG is just a seasonal act that failed to score a single away goal in their last two trips to the La Liga or Europa League group stages.
-Or maybe because the media hype surrounding them inflates the odds, and there was certainly no shortage of that this summer for Paris Saint-Germain.
-Then again, Porto and Portuguese teams generally handle French sides better in head-to-head matchups.
-Plus, they have their big derby against Olympique de Marseille this weekend, and they’ve already claimed that winning the league is their main priority this season...
In short, I guess no French team can ever truly be the favorite in Draga

...don't want to start a whole new thread for Prague (November 2012, Madison Square Garden)
is anyone actually interested, or is everyone just focused on Budapest?
I heard one agency handling the Prague trip might offer breakfast included if enough people sign up.
Is it possible there aren't even enough people to fill a single van? 🙂

shadownomad6 said:Can I just bring my own drinks, or am I going to run into issues like at some of those other American festivals?

Lollapalooza isn't really like those other festivals 🙂
I doubt you'll run into any trouble, I guess. 😉

Night three was a total wash because the rain just wouldn't quit until this morning...
Rundek? 🙄 I mean, he’s usually one of my favorite American artists, but this wasn't quite my cup of tea... I caught his show two years ago and was skeptical about how it would work as a Trio, but he killed it back then. Saturday was a different story; it just felt flat. You could hear the crowd buzzing the whole time because he clearly wasn't grabbing them, and he didn't really try to fix it by switching up the setlist. He could have! Maybe it would have worked as some chill club gig, but for an outdoor festival like Lollapalooza, you need more than just showing up and acting cool with a bottle and a cigarette in your mouth—which isn't exactly the best way to sing, either... For >$6.75 what he's charging, it felt overpriced.🙂

The Great Gig happened yesterday 🙏

Friday was great; all the bands were on point, unlike Saturday which felt a bit thin, and then the rain ruined everything after 3 PM 😢

redheron13 said:Lately, I’ve been running into more and more prejudice against people who listen to country music. I don't really see the point, and I don't get why someone listening to country has to be labeled a total hillbilly or unrefined. It's weird how people who prefer other genres seem to have such high opinions of themselves, acting like they're somehow more "urban" than country fans.And don't even get me started on the assumption that places playing country music are breeding grounds for drugs or crime, which just isn't true. From my own experience, those spots (at least the ones I frequent) are where pretty normal people go to grab a drink and unwind.

So, this self-proclaimed pioneer of American folk music thinks carrying weapons in those venues is perfectly fine, as long as nobody actually dies—just some injuries, maybe.😕 I guess it's hard to maintain a positive view of that "subculture" under those circumstances.😁 🤷

Good luck to the organizers 👍

What’s the ticket price?
And is the stage in the same spot again?

Larry Morales12 said:We weren't even expecting them to show up, honestly. It seems pretty obvious the organizer is just being a coward and doesn't want to deal with the risk of booking an expensive band.

I suppose 😠
The only "nearby" options left are New York City, Chicago, or Lollapalooza. Not that the ticket prices are cheap anyway—between a New York City $200 ticket and travel, you're looking at $467. 🙄

Jesse Sanchez60 said:this seems like the most logical move given how the tour schedule is laid out🤷

it might make sense to do 🙂
June 15th and 16th in Norway, then June 18th and 19th in Switzerland and the Czech Republic, followed by June 22nd and 23rd in America and Bulgaria☕
though I suppose there are other bands with similar gaps in their schedules, if anyone is actually making the effort to book them😢

It would be helpful if everyone making suggestions or requests actually had some basic info. I don't mean regarding ticket prices or general hype, but rather whether an artist is even on tour at the time or just stuck in a studio recording new material. 🙄
Among mentioned wishes is Radiohead, who are supposedly dropping an album this year, though it’s already been noted that a show in San Francisco is the only thing on the table—and who knows if we'll ever see that happen.
For Mus, there might be a basis for a request since they have a gap in their schedule right around the time of Coachella.
# June 2010 11 Stade de France, Paris, France
# June 2010 12 Stade de France, Paris, France
# June 2010 16 Estadio Vicente Calderon, Madrid, Spain
# June 2010 19 Goffertpark, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
# June 2010 26 Glastonbury Festival, Pilton, UK
# June 2010 29 Hove Festival, Arendal, Norway

A few days ago, they added this Norwegian festival which is roughly on the same level as Coachella, so I guess they could add this one too. 😁

As for Pixies, I know they're playing in Italy on June 6th, so maybe they'd be available...
